Over the weekend, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shared a video on X, formerly Twitter, that showcased an AI-generated fashion show featuring global powerhouses.
What Happened: The video was made by the YouTube channel “Interdimensional TV” featuring many global figures like Musk, Barack Obama, Pope Francis, Kim Jong Un, Joe Biden, and Mark Zuckerberg, in AI-created outfits, mirroring or satirizing their public images.
For example, Zuckerberg was shown in a reptilian skin suit, poking fun at the wild conspiracy theory that the Meta CEO is a lizard in disguise — an idea he’s denied before. In 2016, Zuckerberg was asked about this, to which he said, “I'm gonna have to go with ‘no’ on that. I am not a lizard.”

Similarly, in the video, U.S. President Biden was shown in a wheelchair which might have been a reference to the concerns surrounding his age and health. Musk, on the other hand, was featured wearing a futuristic space suit.
The video also portrayed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a vibrant, multi-colored outfit, and Russian President Vladimir Putin in a Louis Vuitton ensemble.
Other notable appearances included Apple CEO Tim Cook with an iPad around his neck, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in a bright red outfit adorned with playful teddy bear motifs.
The video was made using platforms like Midjourney and Luma Labs, as per the description written in the YouTube video. Musk, while sharing the video, said, “High time for an AI fashion show.”
